replacement piston and rings??

[adambear]

Does anyone know if i can buy a replacement piston on its own and a set of rings for just one piston, a set of rings can cost £150-£250 in thier own... My piston rings have died on one piston and have damaged the edge of the piston. The block is fine luckily so will just need a piston,rings,head gasket and cambelt. Can anyone help out where to get these parts cheep. I would be very greatful.
thanks in advance and any fitting tips would be cool too

If you are having the head off, better changing the lot, cheaper to buy a set.

I can understand just putting one used piston in an engine if money is tight, but while it's all apart it would make sense to put a set of forged pistons in there.

i know, i would love to but after this scare i will prob sell the car after its fixed, i thought i could afford to run it but i am finding it hard just to fix a small problem. i hardly drive it anymore and will prob get a nice diesel i can use on a daily basis
